L-3 Communications (NYSE:LLL) announced today that its
Commercial Training Solutions (L-3 CTS) business has been awarded a
contract by All Nippon Airways (ANA) to build and deliver an Airbus
A320 Full Flight Simulator (FFS). Based on L-3’s RealitySeven™
flight training simulation solution, the device will be installed
at ANA’s flight training facility in Tokyo, Japan, and ready to
deliver training in September 2017. This will be the first
RealitySeven A320 FFS to be installed at ANA’s flight training
center and will join an existing RealitySeven B787 FFS at the
airline’s Tokyo facility.
“We are excited to build on our partnership with ANA and to
expand L-3’s international business,” said Michael T. Strianese,
L-3’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The strong demand we
are experiencing for our Commercial Training Solutions business is
indicative of the growing global need for qualified pilots and the
state-of-the-art tools and comprehensive training options we offer
that address all proficiency levels.”
“This award demonstrates our commitment to delivering
high-quality training products and services to meet ANA’s long-term
fleet expansion plans,” added Alan Crawford, President of L-3
Commercial Training Solutions. “By continuing our long-standing
relationship, ANA has affirmed its confidence in L-3’s flexible and
cost-effective RealitySeven simulation solution. Delivery of this
trainer will enable ANA to grow its training capacity fleet-wide
and ensure its requirements are met into the future.”
Koichi Uchizono, Senior Executive Vice President and Chairman of
Operation Division for ANA, commented, “Because of the high-quality
solutions and support provided by L-3 CTS, ANA has decided to
purchase a new A320 RealitySeven full flight simulator as the best
solution to meet our pilot training demand. We welcome the
strengthening of the relationship between L-3 CTS and ANA.”
L-3’s A320 RealitySeven FFS will deliver high degrees of
reliability, maintainability and supportability for ANA.
RealitySeven simulation solutions – including digital electrical
control loading and electric motion systems – will reduce power
consumption and provide high trainer availability for the airline,
facilitating the lowest life-cycle costs for each device.
